We must confess that after enduring the initial episode of “American Gladiators” a week ago, we didn’t have the strength to survive last night’s show.
But apparently though there are plenty of Mike Huckabee voters folks who disagree with our assertation that the production is just plain bad television. Including the panel-roomed suits at NBC.
Variety reports today that “NBC has decided to order up another season of its ‘American Gladiators’ revival“. The show has “the highest ratings of any new series this season, scripted or unscripted. It averaged a 5.9/14 among adults 18-49, and 12 million viewers overall.”
We should give the show’s producers credit for truly understanding what the network television audience really wants these days: Contestants named “Spider Monkey” and gay porn stars as Gladiators.
